The Raphael Affair

The Raphael Affair
Iain Pears
MYSTERY •  1998 •  PAPER  • 226 PAGES

In the first of the popular Jonathan Argyll art mysteries, English doctoral candidate Argyll, "an amiable soul prone to tripping over his shoelaces," is arrested for vagrancy when he's found in a small church near Campo dei Fiori after hours. He's there to confirm that the painting that's long hung over the altar is a previously unidentified Raphael -- a career-making discovery, if true. To his dismay, the painting has been stolen.  (ITL743, $6.99)
